Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent support travellers with practical, safety and rights information, describe kinds of travel neutrally, and separate the sense of Traveller communities with respect for self-designation.

A person who changes location, moving from one place to another for purposes such as tourism, work, migration, pilgrimage or exploration, by any mode including air, rail, road, sea and on foot; travellers have rights and duties under transport and immigration law, and the word also names certain ethnic communities that describe themselves as Travellers, a separate sense requiring self-designation.

What it is for: Moving between places.

It can be support travel planning and safety; explain traveller rights and documents; describe kinds of travellers; separate the ethnic community sense.
